Join us for a healing session of radical embroidery inspired by
artists John Currin and Alicja Kwade. More and more, embroidery is
being used as a medium for social expression; join us for an evening
exploring wormholes, the multiverse, the male gaze, and human desire
through embroidery. Let’s all stitch it out. Wine included for those
21 years of age. $10 per person. Registration is required. Exhibition
information: John Currin: "My Life as a Man" "My Life as a Man"
focuses exclusively on John Currin’s depictions of his own gender,
examining provocative depictions of a range of masculine identities
over the course of his career. This occasion will mark the first-ever
attempt to track the evolution of Currin’s male iconography in a
museum context. Alicja Kwade: "Moving in Glances" Alicja Kwade’s
work employs ordinary materials such as glass, steel, and concrete to
explore the conventions developed by humanity in order explain natural
phenomena. In questioning the absolute nature of the concept of time,
the metric system, and the value of commodities, Kwade reminds us that
reality is not absolute—it is what we have agreed upon collectively
as a global society.
